PRESS STATEMENT (IN REPLY TO RONNIE LIU)
I refer to the press statement from the State Assemblyman of Sungai Pelek, titled “Muhyiddin must come clean on the COVID-19 vaccine.” The State Assemblyman has claimed several inaccuracies, allegations, and misrepresentations that require answering in this statement.
I will answer them one by one.
1. The State Assemblyman has alleged that the mRNA vaccine will alter the DNA of a person. He has also questioned whether it will be approved by JAKIM based on the same premise.
Briefly, in our cells, mRNAs (messenger RNAs) are temporary molecules that are made from our genomic DNA before it is translated to make a protein. It is essentially a short-term, temporary message.
In this case, the temporary message instructs the body to produce one of the proteins on the surface of the coronavirus. The immune system will then learn to recognise the virus protein and produce antibodies against it. That’s all the mRNA vaccine does. It does not alter your DNA.
In response to State Assemblyman’s query if JAKIM will approve the vaccine since “it is capable of altering the DNA of a person?” The DNA issue has been addressed above. In addition, I have already stated that JAKIM is part of the Jawatankuasa Khas Jaminan Akses Bekalan Vaksin COVID-19 (JKJAV) which assesses COVID-19 vaccines. Furthermore, Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Religious Affairs) YB Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri clarified in Parliament, the Muzakarah (Conference) of the National Fatwa Council will study and deliberate on the matter.
2. The State Assemblyman has also questioned who will be paying for the vaccine. If he read beyond the headlines of the announcement, he would have seen that the Prime Minister has pledged that the Government will fund the public COVID-19 vaccination programme for Malaysians with an initial target of 70% of our population to reach herd immunity. The Malaysian Government has set aside at least RM 3 billion solely for this purpose.
3. The pricing of the Pfizer vaccine is covered by a non-disclosure agreement as each country negotiates directly with the pharmaceutical company. Suffice it to say we are satisfied with the terms and pricing that we have agreed upon. The terms we have reached protect Malaysia’s interests both financially and with regards to the safety of the vaccine.
I can categorically confirm that it is definitely less than the RM100 per dose as assumed by the State Assemblyman.
4. The State Assemblyman also claimed that we are rushing to sign deals with vaccine manufacturers. I can categorically say that this is false. We have been negotiating with vaccine manufacturers since April 2020 when we announced our Science Diplomacy strategy. We are considering all data provided by the companies we are negotiating with in order to make the best, most informed decision. This is just the first of many deals that we are considering. Negotiations are ongoing including with vaccine manufacturers from China (including the manufacturer which the State Assemblyman strongly champions). I would like to emphasise that the vaccines must be deemed safe and efficacious by the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) under MOH before we execute the agreements and begin the vaccination process.
It is important to note that not any one pharmaceutical company will be able to supply vaccines for the entire Malaysian population. This is why the multi-pronged approach to procure a portfolio of vaccines is significant in order to obtain enough doses to meet our herd immunity target of 70% of the population.
5. With regards to the ultra-cold supply chain required; the shipment will be handled and delivered by Pfizer directly.
As for ultra-cold storage, we have ultra-low temperature freezers in universities and research institutes in the country which can be redeployed, if necessary. Pfizer has also shown that the vaccines are stable at 2-8 degree Celsius for five days.
We are also not getting the 12.8 million doses in one shot. They will be staggered throughout the year. Our planning for storage will take the delivery schedule into consideration.
6. MOH’s efforts during the crisis have not only been domestically praised but also internationally recognised. They have been working constantly and consistently to ensure that Malaysians have among the best standards of healthcare in the world. All of us will help where we can.
We are taking a whole-of-government approach to the COVID-19 crisis. It is all hands-on deck. Every one of my Cabinet colleagues is involved in this effort to get us through this pandemic.
On the question as to why I am involved, I co-chair the JKJAV with Health Minister, YB Dato’ Seri Dr Adham Baba. MOSTI is also involved in vaccine negotiations as the ministry in charge of biotechnology. The Malaysia Genome Institute under MOSTI is producing whole genome sequencing and bioinformatics analysis to detect mutations in the genome from COVID-19 samples.
MOSTI is also in the midst of developing a National Vaccine Roadmap. The National Institutes of Biotechnology (NIBM), Malaysia under MOSTI is collaborating with multiple foreign research institutes in vaccine development R&D as well.
I continue to welcome questions and queries on this important national endeavour.

【#只談語言不論政治】英國Brexit專員David Davis向BBC解釋辭職原因
英國政壇大地震,現有Brexit secretary(脫歐事務大臣)David Davis昨天辭職,今日到Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson。

閱讀材料一《David Davis辭職公開信》
Dear Prime Minister
As you know there have been a significant number of occasions in the last year or so on which I have disagreed with the Number 10 policy line, ranging from accepting the Commission's sequencing of negotiations through to the language on Northern Ireland in the December Joint Report. At each stage I have accepted collective responsibility because it is part of my task to find workable compromises, and because I considered it was still possible to deliver on the mandate of the referendum, and on our manifesto commitment to leave the Customs Union and the Single Market.
I am afraid that I think the current trend of policy and tactics is making that look less and less likely. Whether it is the progressive dilution of what I thought was a firm Chequers agreement in February on right to diverge, or the unnecessary delays of the start of the White Paper, or the presentation of a backstop proposal that omitted the strict conditions that I requested and believed that we had agreed, the general direction of policy will leave us in at best a weak negotiating position, and possibly an inescapable one.
The Cabinet decision on Friday crystallised this problem. In my view the inevitable consequence of the proposed policies will be to make the supposed control by Parliament illusory rather than real. As I said at Cabinet, the "common rule book" policy hands control of large swathes of our economy to the EU and is certainly not returning control of our laws in any real sense.
I am also unpersuaded that our negotiating approach will not just lead to further demands for concessions.
Of course this is a complex area of judgement and it is possible that you are right and I am wrong. However, even in that event it seems to me that the national interest requires a Secretary of State in my Department that is an enthusiastic believer in your approach, and not merely a reluctant conscript. While I have been grateful to you for the opportunity to serve, it is with great regret that I tender my resignation from the Cabinet with immediate effect.
Yours ever
David Davis

Dear David
Thank you for your letter explaining your decision to resign as Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union.
I am sorry that you have chosen to leave the Government when we have already made so much progress towards delivering a smooth and successful Brexit, and when we are only eight months from the date set in law when the United Kingdom will leave the European Union.
At Chequers on Friday, we as the Cabinet agreed a comprehensive and detailed proposal which provides a precise, responsible, and credible basis for progressing our negotiations towards a new relationship between the UK and the EU after we leave in March. We set out how we will deliver on the result of the referendum and the commitments we made in our manifesto for the 2017 general election:
1. Leaving the EU on 29 March 2019.
2. Ending free movement and taking back control of our borders.
3. No more sending vast sums of money each year to the EU.
4. A new business-friendly customs model with freedom to strike new trade deals around the world.
5. A UK-EU free trade area with a common rulebook for industrial goods and agricultural products which will be good for jobs.
6. A commitment to maintain high standards on consumer and employment rights and the environment.
7. A Parliamentary lock on all new rules and regulations.
8. Leaving the Common Agricultural Policy and the Common Fisheries Policy.
9. Restoring the supremacy of British courts by ending the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice in the UK.
10. No hard border between Northern Ireland and Ireland, or between Northern Ireland and Great Britain.
11. Continued, close co-operation on security to keep our people safe.
12. An independent foreign and defence policy, working closely with the EU and other allies.
This is consistent with the mandate of the referendum and with the commitments we laid out in our general election manifesto: leaving the single market and the customs union but seeking a deep and special partnership including a comprehensive free trade and customs agreement; ending the vast annual contributions to the EU; and pursuing fair, orderly negotiations, minimising disruption and giving as much certainty as possible so both sides benefit.
As we said in our manifesto, we believe it is necessary to agree the terms of our future partnership alongside our withdrawal, reaching agreement on both within the two years allowed by Article 50.
I have always agreed with you that these two must go alongside one another, but if we are to get sufficient detail about our future partnership, we need to act now. We have made a significant move: it is for the EU now to respond in the same spirit.
I do not agree with your characterisation of the policy we agreed at Cabinet on Friday.
Parliament will decide whether or not to back the deal the Government negotiates, but that deal will undoubtedly mean the returning of powers from Brussels to the United Kingdom.
The direct effect of EU law will end when we leave the EU. Where the UK chooses to apply a common rulebook, each rule will have to be agreed by Parliament.
Choosing not to sign up to certain rules would lead to consequences for market access, security co-operation or the frictionless border, but that decision will rest with our sovereign Parliament, which will have a lock on whether to incorporate those rules into the UK legal order.
I am sorry that the Government will not have the benefit of your continued expertise and counsel as we secure this deal and complete the process of leaving the EU, but I would like to thank you warmly for everything you have done over the past two years as Secretary of State to shape our departure from the EU, and the new role the UK will forge on the world stage as an independent, self-governing nation once again.
You returned to Government after nineteen years to lead an entirely new Department responsible for a vital, complex, and unprecedented task.
You have helped to steer through Parliament some of the most important legislation for generations, including the European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Act 2017 and the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, which received Royal Assent last week.
These landmark Acts, and what they will do, stand as testament to your work and our commitment to honouring the result of the referendum.
Yours sincerely,
Theresa May

KENYATAAN MEDIA
DS NAJIB PERLU AMBIL CUTI SEBAGAI PM, BADAN BEBAS PERLU SIASAT
Satu dunia dikejutkan sidang media Jabatan Keadilan Amerika Syarikat (US Department of Justice, DOJ) tengah malam tadi yang menyatakan Kerajaan Amerika Syarikat akan mengambil alih aset bernilai lebih RM4 bilion (USD1 bilion) yang berkait dengan satu konspirasi antarabangsa untuk mengubah wang haram dari 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). DOJ juga telah menamakan individu-individu yang didakwa terlibat: Riza Aziz (anak tiri kepada Perdana Menteri Dato' Sri Najib Razak), Jho Low, Khadem Abdulla Al-Qubaisi dan Mohammed Ahmed Badawy Al-Husseiny.
Sidang media DOJ tersebut dengan jelas menyatakan RM4 bilion ini sebahagian dari lebih RM14 bilion (USD3.5 bilion) yang dikenalpasti dilarikan dari badan 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) antara 2009 hingga 2015. Jangkamasa ini bertindih sepenuhnya dengan jangkamasa Dato' Sri Najib memegang jawatan Perdana Menteri, Menteri Kewangan, dan juga Pengerusi Lembaga Penasihat 1MDB.
Memandangkan Perkara 117 Memorandum dan Artikel Persatuan 1MDB yang berkuatkuasa pada ketika wang RM14 bilion itu didakwa dilarikan dari 1MDB meletakkan tanggungjawab meluluskan "komitmen kewangan, penyusunan semula atau sebarang perkara yang melibatkan jaminan kerajaan" di tangan Perdana Menteri, maka saya menggesa Dato' Sri Najib untuk segera memberikan penjelasan kepada Ahli-Ahli Parlimen di dalam satu sidang Parlimen tergempar dalam masa terdekat.
Memandangkan Dato' Sri Najib selaku Perdana Menteri telah memecat beberapa individu-individu yang lantang bersuara mengenai isu 1MDB, termasuk mantan Timbalan Perdana Menteri Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, saya menggesa Kabinet untuk menasihatkan DYMM Seri Paduka Baginda Yang Di-Pertuan Agong untuk menitahkan agar ditubuhkan satu Suruhanjaya Siasatan Di-Raja untuk menyiasat tuduhan wang RM14 bilion telah dilarikan dari 1MDB dari 2009 ke 2015 serta mencadangkan agar individu-individu yang terlibat dihadapkan ke mahkamah.
Memandangkan jawatan Dato' Sri Najib sebagai Perdana Menteri memberikan beliau kuasa dan pengaruh ke atas agensi utama kerajaan termasuk pejabat Peguam Negara, Polis Di-Raja Malaysia dan Suruhanjaya Pencegahan Rasuah Malaysia, dan memandangkan isu ini berkait rapat dengan bidang kuasa malah juga jangkamasa beliau memegang jawatan tersebut, saya percaya Rakyat Malaysia mahukan Dato' Sri Najib untuk mengambil cuti sebagai Perdana Menteri agar tidak timbul syak wasangka salahguna kuasa untuk melengah atau menghalang siasatan penuh terhadap isu yang serius ini.

MEDIA STATEMENT
PM NAJIB MUST STEP DOWN, INDEPENDENT COMMISSION MUST INVESTIGATE
The entire world is shocked by the press conference of the US Department of Justice (DOJ) last night which said that the US Government is initiating a seizure of assets worth over RM4 billion (USD1 billion) linked with an international conspiracy to launder funds misappropriated from 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB). The DOJ also named several individuals as being involved in this: Riza Aziz (PM Najib Razak's stepson), Jho Low, Khadem Abdulla Al-Qubaisi and Mohammed Ahmed Badawy Al-Husseiny.
The DOJ press conference clearly mentioned that this RM4 billion is part of over RM14 billion (USD3.5 billion) which has been identified as being embezzled from 1MDB between 2009 and 2015. This timeline coincides and overlaps exactly with the tenure of Dato' Sri Najib Razak as Prime Minister, Minister of Finance, and Chairman of the 1MDB Board of Advisors.
Since Article 117 of 1MDB's Memorandum and Articles of Association during the time the RM14 billion was alleged to have been embezzled stated categorically that all "financial commitments (including investments), restructuring or matters involving government guarantees" must obtain the written approval of the Prime Minister, I hereby call upon Dato' Sri Najib to swiftly give an explanation and a full account of this matter in an emergency Parliamentary sitting called as soon as possible.
Seeing also that Dato' Sri Najib as the Prime Minister had sacked prominent individuals who voiced out their concerns on the 1MDB issue, including former Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin, I call upon the Cabinet to advise His Royal Highness the Yang Di-Pertuan Agong to proclaim the formation of a Royal Commission of Inquiry to investigate the serious claims that RM14 billion had been embezzled from 1MDB between 2009 and 2015, and to suggest the prosecution of those involved in this heinous crime.
Seeing that Dato' Sri Najib's position as Prime Minister allows him control and influence over key government agencies including the office of the Attorney General, the Royal Malaysian Police and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, and since this issue is closely linked to his time as Prime Minister, I believe the Malaysian People want Dato' Sri Najib to go on leave as Prime Minister so as not to create the perception of abuse of power or process to halt or hinder a full and transparent investigation on this very serious issue.

Although I've been to Japan twice, Rikuzentakata city's (Iwate Pref. “Arigato” Host Town for Supporting Reconstruction) a place I've never heard of until a month ago. Really enjoyed my stay there and was taken aback when I found out about the close relationship it has with my own country, Singapore. It's crazy how one can be so unaware of what's happening out there. While I was enjoying my youth and taking what I have for granted in 2011 - someone lost their home and loved one(s) at the same time. It really made me gain perspective on the world outside of my own. Count your blessings.
